Chapter 173 My Yaya is studying
"Are these great scholars such lively personalities?" Su Dingguo listened to the noise over there. These people were not like that just now. They looked like scholars at all.
"I guess they are not familiar with this place yet. They will be fine after a few days." Su Mu shook his head. It was not easy for these great scholars to keep their composure.
"How is Zhou Ziyu doing?" the third brother came over and asked.
"Zhou Ziyu is doing very well there. The rapeseed harvest is great. The ten acres of land can produce eight or nine hundred kilograms of oil."
"That's a lot!"
In the blink of an eye, the day to go to school came.
Every household dressed their children in neat clothes. The little girls tied their hair into two small buns and red hairbands, and came to the school happily skipping and skipping.
Everyone was very excited on the first day of going to school. Looking out the window of the room, we saw children, both big and small, sitting neatly with their backs straight, listening to the class attentively.
Children from wealthy families usually start their enlightenment at the age of six, and are taught books such as "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names". After the enlightenment books, they have to read the Four Books and Five Classics, and choose one or two of them as their main subject.
Girls get married at the age of 15, and boys get crowned at the age of 20. They start reading various historical books, higher-level articles of various schools of thought, as well as the six arts of a gentleman and the eight elegances for women. Young masters and young ladies from wealthy families also need to know them.
But these are all ideal situations. Most people cannot afford to go to school and have no access to education, so the children in the room are of different ages, and the age difference can be huge.
"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is vast and boundless." The children read aloud as the teacher taught.
Su Mu stood not far away and smiled as he listened to the children reading.
There were many villagers standing here. They were all worried about their children going to school for the first time, so they quietly stretched their heads to look over there and did not dare to make a sound.
"Everyone, go back. The children are studying very hard. There is nothing to worry about."
"Great." Everyone responded, their faces full of joy and excitement, "My child is going to school!"
“My child is going to school!”
On the way back, the villagers were still talking happily.
"Did you see that? My Yaya is reading!" The villagers showed happy smiles on their tanned faces.
Su Mu also followed everyone and went home.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiang!" A villager knelt down in front of Sumu.
"What are you doing?" Su Mu hurriedly pulled him up.
"Mr. Xiang, if it weren't for you, I don't know when my children would have the opportunity to go to school." Tears of gratitude flowed from the villagers' eyes.
With this opportunity, his children's future will be brighter and they won't have to think twice about even having a full meal like they do.
"I will never forget your great kindness."
"Uncle, get up quickly, we are neighbors." Su Mu lifted him up with force.
The villager's eyes were still filled with tears of emotion. He was stunned for a moment. How could someone lift up such a heavy adult man?
"Uncle, as long as the children study hard, that's all." Su Mu comforted in a gentle voice.
The villagers over there also wanted to kneel down, but Su Mu was quick-eyed and pulled them up with one hand.
As a result, just as she pulled one up, the other one seized the opportunity and knelt down, catching her off guard.
Su Mu was in a state of headache, for he did not have eight arms. He said a lot of things and finally persuaded these people to go back.
When Su Mu returned home and told Su Dingguo about these things, he laughed out loud.
"Mumu, they are all very grateful to you."
"I know." She just wasn't used to people kneeling to her at every turn.
When she did these things, she didn't do it to make her fellow villagers grateful to her.
"It is difficult for children from farming families to go to school, and you have given them hope." Moreover, the tuition that Mumu charges is not high, and there are rewards every time, which can save them a lot of money.
"Grandpa, I understand." Su Mu nodded.
Thinking that my third brother and the others would also go to school, those who had already attended school could go later, but they all went early.
Su Mu was thinking about whether he should make something delicious. It just so happened that he had some time as he wanted to make candied haws last time but didn't.
"Grandpa, do you have any straw at home?" Su Mu wanted to make one with an antique feel, and even made a straw target for sticking candied haws on it.
"Straw? We still have some at home. Come here and I'll get it for you." Su Dingguo took Su Mu to a small yard. "What does Mu Mu do with the straw?"
"I want to make a straw target for candied haws." Su Mu picked out another thick and long branch.
"Come, let Grandpa help you."
The bark of the branches was peeled off to reveal the light wood color inside, and the straw was arranged into bundles and cut into uniform lengths.
The straw was evenly wrapped around a wooden stick and tied tightly with a rope. In this way, the common straw target was made. Su Mu then made several more.
I also used bamboo to cut a lot of bamboo sticks.
"That's it!"
"Mumu, this is well made." Although I don't know what this can be used for, it looks good.
"Grandpa, I'm going to make you some candied haws."
Su Mu came to the kitchen and prepared to make candied haws. He first took out the sugar and various fruits.
When 006 saw Su Mu taking a lot of fruits, he knew there would be delicious food again.
[Host, what are you cooking?] 006 flew out of space.
"Tanghus lu, what kind of fruit do you like to eat, 006? I'll make you a few more strings!" Su Mu said.
[Cherries! I love eating cherries recently.] Since the cherries in the space are ripe, it just picks them directly from the tree and eats them.
"Then make candied cherry haws for 006."
Use bamboo sticks to string all the fruits you want to eat into a string. Tangerines, cherries, hawthorns, cherry tomatoes, pears, peaches, everything can be made into candied haws.
Put sugar and water in a 1:1 ratio into the pot, melt the sugar over high heat, and stir gently with chopsticks. Once the sugar has started to melt, keep the chopsticks still and let the sugar and water mixture boil in the pot.
When the water boils, you can use medium heat and keep cooking for about 15 minutes. When the syrup is roughly cooked, you can turn the heat to the lowest and start coating the food with syrup.
Take a bamboo stick, put the fruit into the syrup and turn it around, take it out and stick it on the straw target, and the candied haws are ready. The cooled candied haws have a crispy and shiny skin.
Each candied haws looks very beautiful after being made.
"Mom, this target is full of bullets."
"Okay, I'll bring those over."
Until all the targets are filled, there are still a few left, and each person takes a string to eat.
The sugar shell on the outside is very crispy and not sticky at all.
[Delicious.] 006 Eat a candied cherry in one bite.
【So sweet! 】
"We also have authentic hawthorn candied haws for you to try."
[This is also delicious, sour and sweet. ]
